Detailed Description

Kawai GX Series

Crafted in Japan, the GX Series is a perfect harmony of traditional craftsmanship and advanced technology. Its light yet responsive touch and richly resonant tone transform every subtle emotion into sound. The GX series is built for the hands of pianists ready to take the next step in their artistic journey.

Uncompromising attention to every unseen detail – this is the spirit of Kawai’s piano making. Each GX Series instrument is backed by precision craftsmanship and a dedication to superior sound quality. Rooted in the founding philosophy that every piano should be built with care and dedication, the Ryuyo facility blends traditional artistry with cutting-edge science. The result is a piano that offers not just sound, but trust, inspiration, and the promise of lasting musical beauty.

Touch

Equipped with the revolutionary Millennium III Action, also featured in the flagship Shigeru Kawai series, the GX responds instantly to your fingertips.

Every nuance becomes part of your expression. This refined touch invites players to discover the joy of complete musical control.

Millennium III Action

Made with ABS-carbon composite, an aerospace-grade material, this action achieves both high rigidity and lightness, overcoming the limitations of traditional wood. Its stability and durability ensure lasting performance over decades.

Extended Length Keys

Longer keys in the GX Series provide more consistent touch and control whether you play at the front or back of the key. This innovation enhances ease of playing, dynamic control, and expressive power, even in demanding passages.

NEOTEX Key Surfaces

Developed as an alternative to ivory and ebony, Kawai’s NEOTEX key surface offers a warm, tactile feel. It resists moisture and static, reducing slippage and dust buildup – ensuring confident performance in any condition.

Tone

The GX Series delivers the signature “Kawai tone” – rich, deep bass and clear, mellow treble that lend depth and emotional resonance to every performance.

Soundboard

The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano’s strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straightgrained, quarter-sawn solid spruce selected by both scientific and artisanal criteria for GX series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in each region. Only soundboards that meet or exceed Kawai’s demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GX series grand pianos.

Hybrid Inner Rim (Konsei Katagi Rim)

The exclusive Konsei Katagi rim uses a blend of distinctive hardwoods to achieve an ideal balance of tone. For the inner rim, small-pored hardwoods that provide superior brightness and projection are interlaminated with dense, large-pored hardwoods offering warmth and fullness. This synergy of structurally divergent hardwoods produces a powerful, well-rounded richness of tone that is the hallmark of Kawai pianos.

Enhanced Body Rigidity

SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) construction creates an exceptionally rigid foundation to support string tension. First, the pinblock is fitted to the plate. Then, the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar are integrated into a single structure and solidly anchored to the rim. The extraordinary thickness of the stretcher bar exemplifies the structural integrity of this sturdy framework designed to ensure stable tuning and powerful tone.

A Lifetime of Happiness, Wrapped in a Grand Piano

The GX Series honors the majestic tradition of the grand piano while relentlessly pursuing a new, refined elegance in every detail. This philosophy—the spirit of “THE GRAND”—is most strikingly revealed when the instrument is opened to show the mesmerizing brilliance of its glowing golden frame. It is a timeless masterpiece crafted to bring professional performance and a source of joy for a lifetime.

Radiant Interior Beauty

Opening the top-board reveals the heart of GX beauty: the glowing golden frame, the Kawai craftsman mark, the warm wood grain of the inner rim, and luxurious black felt. It’s the spirit of “THE GRAND” shining from within.

Exquisite Brass Pedals: Beauty at Your Feet

Even at your feet, the GX Series reveals exquisite detail. The gleaming pedals are crafted from polished brass, adding a final touch of brilliant elegance. These luxurious components not only enhance visual beauty but also provide smooth, responsive control for an exceptional playing experience.

Soft-Fall Fallboard

Features Kawai’s original Soft-Fall system, which closes the fallboard gently and slowly, even if accidentally released. This mechanism protects the player’s hands, ensuring safety for all, especially children.

Great place to choose the right piano for your needs, offers a wide selection for both the amateur and professional! I tried out a number of pianos. My second hand yamaha arrived pristine, and was delivered with care and attention. Plays beautifully and Richard was knowledgeable and helpful in giving playing tips to an amateur such as myself!

A huge thank you to Colin & Richard @ Richard Lawson Piano’s. If you are considering buying a piano then take my advice and look no further. I was in the market to purchase a grand Piano for my 13-year-old daughter and after looking for a couple of months, indecisive which Piano to purchase, I came across Richard Lawson Piano’s. My initial call was with Richard who was extremely nice, knowledgeable, relaxed and not sales pushy. Based on that I decided to make the journey across to Amersham from Kent to visit the showroom where the selection and choice was just endless. I was welcomed by Colin who’s knowledge was incredible, he took his time without pressurising me to make a decision nor did he pressurise me to purchase anything. If you’re not 100% sure what to buy and need to look around to consider options then look no further, this is the Piano supper market. They also opened up for us especially the day before Christmas break to collect. Thank you so very much for a fantastic service. All the best Matt & Kirstie

Richard Lawson Pianos are excellent retailers for pianos. And I would absolutely recommend for anyone buying their first piano to go there, as their hospitality and professionalism is top tier. Colin was the very kind gentleman who guided me step by step into chosing a piano withing my budget and of excellent quality.

Amanda Bouskill

I purchased a Yamaha digital 825 recently. I was very impressed with the high level of service I received from ordering through to the delivery. I have also had help with help, regarding the setting up of my earphones . They are very knowledgeable, friendly, efficient people to deal with. I can recommend the service of Richard Lawson. It is excellent!

Mark Bishop

Great service from start to finish, and we’re delighted with the piano. Thank you!

James Chadd

As a non player and first time piano purchaser buying for advanced level teenage players we needed allot of guidance and support in sourcing our piano. We have had an excellent service from Colin at Richard Lawson Pianos. From our initial telephone conversation to help us understand our requirements and give clear unbiased advice to what we should be looking for (and avoid), through to our showroom visit on the following weekend. Amazing showroom and selection of Pianos to select from, we enjoyed our visit and selection process. Purchasing, finance and delivery were all seemless and highly co-ordinated making everything simple and stress free. Great service all round.

I have been recommending Richard Lawson Pianos to my students for over 10 years, and every experience has been excellent. Colin was incredibly helpful from start to finish. I didn't even need to visit the showroom, as he promptly answered all my questions and matched the best price. He was also happy to hold the piano for over a month while I arranged the move of my previous piano. The delivery was almost impossible due to the access, but Colin organised everything smoothly. The delivery team worked incredibly hard and managed what seemed impossible. To make things even better, the piano technician contacted me just two days after delivery without me having to chase anyone. The piano was delivered on Friday, and I already had a message from the technician by Sunday. The level of customer service has been outstanding every time I have purchased a piano from Richard Lawson Pianos. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality piano and first-class service. Thank you so much, Colin, for all your help!
